Focus Features will be giving the psychological thriller Inside a theatrical release in the U.S. and Canada on March 10, 2023, and today they have unveiled a trio of very strange teaser posters for the film. You can check those out at the bottom of this article.
Directed by Vasilis Katsoupis, who previously made the 2016 documentary My Friend Larry Gus, from a screenplay by Ben Hopkins (The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz), Inside tells the story of Nemo, an art thief trapped in a New York penthouse after his heist doesn’t go as planned. Locked inside with nothing but priceless works of art, he must use all his cunning and invention to survive.
The film stars Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Gene Bervoets (The Vanishing), Josia Krug (Commitment Phobia), and Eliza Stuyck (Vincent).
Giorgos Karnavas, Marcos Kantis, and Dries Phlypo produced Inside, with Katsoupis serving as executive producer alongside Jim Stark, Konstantinos Kontovrakis, Charles E. Breitkreuz, Martin Lehwald, Jean-Claude, Van Rijckeghem, and Stephen Kelliher.
Universal International is handling the distribution of Inside outside of the U.S. and Canada. Focus Features’ Kiska Higgs has described the movie as “thought-provoking” film”, saying it “explores an experience we’re all now familiar with – isolation – and explores it in a visually stunning way.”

Now let’s take a look at the Inside teaser posters, which features images of things that are definitely not Willem Dafoe. There’s canned food, a pigeon, and some moldy fruit, but no Dafoe to be seen. These don’t seem to tell us anything about the plot of the movie, but they are very effective at getting across the idea that Inside is probably going to be quite quirky. It’s going to be interesting to see how the trailer tries to sell the film.
